| Nov 18, 2016 at 17:32 | comment | added | utnapistim | downvoted: such reasoning tends to disappear with time (and reassignment of developers and other factors) and this kind of compromise turns into pure cruft (the kind of thing that makes you look at the code and curse the guy who wrote it). It is the smallest change, but with time it will become a big snafu. | |
